6.0.2: Make 'calls' default in Activities, not calendar.

[al3]

I upgraded to 6.0.2 from 5.x and I find that when I click Activities, the Calendar is what is shown. However, in the previous version I got Calls, which was much better for me. Is there some way I can make the call-list the default for the Activity button?

Thanks,

Al

Hello,

Create a file custom/modules/Activities/views/view.list.php

Paste the following code inside it.

 <?php
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php');

class ActivitiesViewList extends ViewList
{
     public function display()
     {
         $GLOBALS['mod_strings'] = return_module_language($GLOBALS['current_language'], 'Calls');
         echo get_module_title("Calls", $GLOBALS['mod_strings']['LBL_MODULE_TITLE'], true);
        // Overload the export module since the user got here by clicking the "Activities" tab
        $export_module = "Calls";
        $_REQUEST['module'] = 'Calls';
        $controller = ControllerFactory::getController('Calls');
        $controller->loadBean();
        $controller->preProcess();
        $controller->process();    
        
        //Manipulate view directly to not display header, js and footer again
        $view = ViewFactory::loadView($controller->view, $controller->module, $controller->bean, $controller->view_object_map);
        $view->options['show_header'] = false;
        $view->options['show_title'] = false;
        $view->options['show_javascript'] = false;
        $view->process();  
        if($GLOBALS['external_cache_enabled']) {
            sugar_cache_clear('VIEW_CONFIG_FILE_Calls_TYPE_list');    
        }
        die();
     }
}
?>

Wow. That worked great. Now when I click Activities I get my call list. THANK YOU!

What happens when we get the next update? Will I have to do this over again? No big deal... just curious.

Was this this an oversight by the Sugar developers to not have Activities configurable?

Hallo,

Great!! As it is an upgrade safe manner, you dont need to rewrite after next upgrade.
